Approaching week 27

We call you "the baby" because we don't know whether you are a boy or a girl. You've been kind to me so far - no nausea or sleepless nights and no extreme fatigue since the first trimester... just a little papaya weighing somewhere between 1.5 and 2 pounds these days. I like knowing that you can here my voice and like to imagine you opening your eyes. Life is good, little baby. Enjoy your last 3 months in there.

I hope you like your zebra rug. Your dad says its going to scare you, but I love it. What would be scary is a real bird in that bird cage above your bed. Don't worry, if you cry, I won't buy you a mocking bird...or any bird...
